The public's responsibility on the project seems to keep growing, with nobody having any real idea of how much it will ultimately cost. The price is now up to $350 million or $400 million, depending how you count...and it may still be growing.

A poll of Cobb County voters by UF showed that had this come up for a vote it would have passed. Pretty much every level of government in the United States wastes taxpayer money. The Feds wasted over $500 million Solyndra alone. The silver lining for Cobb County taxpayers is that at least get some utility out of the new ballpark.

It's encouraging that people are waking up to the stadium ripoff. Hopefully people wise up about the rest of government as well.

Tampa's biggest stadium cheerleader - Ken Hagan - probably already knows that Hillsborough County population is 80% greater than that of Cobb County. So if Cobb County can spend $400 million, then Hillsborough County can spend $720 million.
